Conflagration is a family friendly fantasy novel for readers of all ages. Though specifically written for the young adult, even those much older will enjoy this journey through the Realm of Clendorin and the search for The Phoenix Blade. Conflagration is the first book in the trilogy and the sequel Lineage is also available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.

The Phoenix Blade, a mystical blade of power, has been stolen while the city of Danlor slept. Valus must go in search of the mystical Phoenix Blade which has been taken to the far reaches of the Realm of Clendorin. The Warlock Junai threatens all of the free races and only with the aid of the sword can they defeat him and his wicked army. Join Valus and his friends as they challenge the dangers of the Eclipse Mountains, the perils of the Drimm Mire, and the evil lurking within the Banewood. Can they retrieve the sword in time? Or will the realm fall to the vile warlock.

Elves, dwarves, warlocks, necromancers, and dragons, what more can you ask for in Young Adult fantasy?

As I read this story, the first thing that popped into my head was the “Lord of the Rings” triology. No readers, that is not a bad thing at all. I personally loved that series as millions of others.

I found D.R. Racey to be an extremely talented artist. I say artist because he painted a mental image of each beast, character, and setting flawlessly which isn’t an easy task. I highly recommend reading Conflagration and look forward to reading your thoughts on it as well.
